Background Briefing goes far beyond the headlines and deep under the radar to bring forward truths unheard elsewhere in American media.

Broadcast live on http://www.kpfk.org
IAN MASTERS:
Ian Masters is an Australian-born and BBC-trained journalist and filmmaker.

Since 1980 his Sunday program, Background Briefing, has aired on KPFK-FM in Los Angeles. In 2009, the program expanded to five days each week.
